Die menschliche Sterblichkeit unter dem Titel Todten-Tanz, in LXI. Original-Kupfern
A 1759 German edition published in Hamburg and Leipzig, gathering sixty-one original copper engravings of the Dance of Death, after designs by Conrad Meyer and Rudolf Theodor Meyer, for a general readership interested in mortality and moral emblems. The pictures show Death, a skeletal figure, seizing people from every rank in indoor and outdoor scenes; a designer might take their dense crosshatching, theatrical staging, and the contrast between skeleton and richly dressed living figures as models for memento mori imagery.
